Korean Institute for Presidential Studies

The Korean Institute for Presidential Studies (KIPS) is an independent research foundation located in Seoul, South Korea.[1] Founded in 1999, KIPS evaluates the presidential performance in South Korea[2][3][4][5] and conducts research and education in the presidential studies.[6] KIPS also publishes the Korean Presidential Studies Series with the Korean Association for Presidential Studies and the Nanam Publishing House.[7]

On September 2023, KIPS supported the inaugural Incheon Security Conference[8][9][10] financially with the Incheon Metropolitan City and Kyonggi University Graduate School of Political Studies to commemorate the Incheon Landing Operation in 1950.[11] This landing operation, known as Operation Chromite was the pivotal moment that changed the tide of the 1950-53 Korean War.
